* '''Mission Statement:''' To help make Fedora the best Linux distribution for developers and users.

+

* '''Past work summary:''' I've worked on Linux for Red Hat for more than a decade in various roles including technical support and engineering. I'm one of the anaconda maintainers as well as the maintainer of (thankfully now deprecated) mkinitrd, and am or have been maintainer Fedora's packages for booty, cdparanoia, dumpet, gnu-efi, grub, python-pyblock, syslinux, and others. I've worked on many levels of our software stack, including implementing installation and boot support for iSCSI, UEFI, dmraid, from the kernel all the way up through userspace, as well as the upstream maintainer of kernel drivers for iSCSI booting and the UEFI framebuffer. I've served on FESCo in the past, have helped define and refine our policies since before that, and continue to do so.

+

* '''Future plans:''' Continue to help with improvement of our processes, policies, and tools, in order to facilitate building the best OS possible. One important facet of that will be to continue refining the systems and processes for our updates, including improving testing procedures, and making these procedures work better for developers.

* '''Mission Statement:''' Making Fedora the most cutting edge open source operating system available.

* '''Future plans:''' Continue to push for better integration of components in Fedora, respect that Fedora is more than the sum of its parts. Push for more active community contribution from upstream communities. Improve polish to compete on the desktop with Ubuntu.

−

* '''Mission Statement:''' Make Fedora THE platform for rapidly developing the next generation of free, open-source software.

* '''Past work summary:''' I've been Red Hat employee for more than five years working on packages related to security (PAM, OpenSSL, libgcrypt, GNUTLS, ...) in both Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I am one of the upstream maintainers of PAM.

+

* '''Future plans:''' Fedora become too much driven by needs of only a few possible use-cases of modern Linux distribution. In addition to that too many policies in packaging requirements and package update process became "a law" that cannot be broken without approval of FESCo. In some people eyes it makes Fedora a playground for wild changes in some parts of the distribution and impenetrable concrete block in other parts. I do not share this view completely but I can understand why some people have it. My goal is to push for amending the rules to make them more guidance-like than hard laws and at the same time make the maintainers more responsible for their actions if their breaking of the guidances breaks the distribution.

* '''Mission Statement:''' I plan to represent the Fedora community in FESCo with an eye towards maintaining the quality and standards of the Fedora distribution, including features, testing, stability, release engineering, and so on.

−

* '''Mission Statement:''' Help ensure that Fedora is a stable platform that can be relied upon by users, while simultaneously ensuring that developers are able to make Fedora into whatever they want.

* '''Past work summary:''' I'm heavily involved in upstream kernel work, mostly on power management but also the interaction between the kernel and userspace. In Fedora terms I concentrate on power management and laptop bugs in the kernel and testing of advanced power management features and the appropriate userspace support. I've been on FESCo for the past year and have contributed to the stable update policy work. Before Fedora I sat on the Ubuntu technical board, and I've also been a Debian developer.

−

* '''Future plans:''' Now that we have a more solid idea of our update policy implemented, I'd like to focus on helping those that want a more bleeding edge system be able to get one. It's much easier to build support for unstable updates on top of a stable base than the other way around. I also want to help ensure that technical barriers to entry are low, and that anyone with something to contribute to Fedora can do so.

Its continued success depends on improving the processes and tools used by those contributors to make their continued innovation as easy as possible, and on making it ever easier for others to consume what Fedora produces.

* '''Mission Statement:''' I'll continue to work to maintain a high level of technical feasibility and avoid micromanagement in decisions made by FESCo. I'll try to streamline our processes for developers, and to avoid processes that result in unnecessary work, or in duplication of effort. As I've shown in the past, I'll continue to try to guide our policy decisions to put the power and responsibility in developers hands rather than requiring FESCo's or other committee's intervention and participation at every level.

* '''Future plans:''' Fedora has spent the last couple years veering sharply into the realm of single-user operating system. I think we need to start directing the project back to meeting the needs of small businesses, especially software engineering firms. This means looking into ways to make central management and access control a higher priority for the desktop.

* '''Mission Statement:''' Lets get back to the good ol' days, where a contributor's life in Fedora was easy because there was trust and good will. I'm not saying that all recent changes are bad (and as FESCo member I'm responsible for some of them), but in some areas it has become too much red tape to work efficiently. Give the community the control (back) and get all groups the same resources.
